Trained Sheep Dogs.

OF the animal adapted to usefulness
TO the farmer by their labor and skill We
do not make as much use of the dog as
would be profitable In some countries
of Europe he is beast of burden, and
the streets of cities are crowded with
heavily laden carts drawn by dogs. But
his great usefulness is found in his care
of sheep, and in this service he displays
great intelligence. OF various breeds
employed for this purpose the Scotch
Collie stands prominent. The weI-au-
thenticated accounts of his intelligence
and skill and devotion to duty excite our
wonder, as the displays of these qualities
excite the admiration of every beholder.
The writer has seen flocks of wild Herd
wicks upon the mountains of Westmone-
land and Cumberland in England, and
of Black faces in the Highlands of Scot
land handled by one dog more effective
ly than could be done by many men,
while his faithful service continued
through both day and night Scotch
writers love to record his praises. One
has said He drives out the sheep to
pasture. confines them 10 their allotted
territory where there are no fences
keeps the fiocNs separate, picks out from
another band and brings back TO its own
a straying sheep; at command collects
into one place the sheep that may be
scattered for miles around; watches his
charge faithfully through night and storm;
is unyielding with the headstrong rams,
and considerate of the tender lambs dis
plays courage, caution, patience, and tact
in handling the flock and will move the
sheep or force them into the fold quicker
more surely, and with less demonstration
than a dozen men," II has been said by
high authority that without him it would
require SO inanymen 10 manage the fiocks
upon the mountain lands of England and
Scotland as TO make keeping sheep upon
them Improbable But he is not con
fined TO the mountains. He. is found
everywhere throughout England, upon
large farms and small He can do as
much for US in America if we will but
regularly put him into our service. In
neglecting TO use him, our tiock-masters
have missed great benefit they might
have gained.
On this account we think the New
York State Agricultural Society has taken
a step in the right direction by offering
lib rd premiums for trained Collies, to
awarded by actual trials upon the fair
grounds at Rochester, 1t will encourage
the training of dogs and will make them
acquainted with their abilities. We hope
there will be many entries and a most
interesting trial If any who have train
ed dogs have not entered them they
should do 50 at one
At some of the agricultural shows in
England and Scotland, the sheep-dog
trials are among their most attractive feat
ures, and thousands gather TO witness
them.-J. W, u, Country Gentleman.

Give Them a Chance.

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your breathing machinery. Very Won
derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages but the thousands of
little tubes and cavities leading from
them.
When these are clogged and choked
with matter which ought not to be there,
your lungs cannot half do their work
And what they do, they cannot do we'll
Call it cold, cough, Group, pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption or any of the fami
ly of throat and nose and head and lung
distractions, all are bad. All ought to be
z 1t rid of. There is just one sure way to
get rid of them. That is to take Boschee's
German Syrup, which any druggist will
send YOU at 30 cents bottle Even if
everything else has failed you, you may
depend upon this for certain

Wrinkled Age and Youth.

Age takes small account of the im'ne-
diate flight of time. To the young year
is mighty span. 81 it a happy or an
unhappy year that youth looks forward
10. ii is vista that stretches far into the
future. And when it is done, this in
terminable year, and youth, just twelve
months older, looks back to the first of
it, what a long way off it is. What tre-
mendous progress we have made. How
much more we know. How insufficient
are the standards by which we measured
the world a poor 365 days back
But age has grown habitnated TO the
flight of time Years We have seen so
many of them that they make no impress
sion upon it. What is il ten years since
young Midas first came TO the counting
room, asking humbIy for an entry clerk 5
place-he who is now the firm. Bless us
it seems like yesterday. Is it ten years
since We first put on that coat? Why it
must be clean out of fashin by this time

woman could not find it, and | misfook
the Indian for wolf and killed him.
Then the woman concluded that I had
the money on me. and shile ] mapped
she crept up to shoot me and secure it.
She told the particulars asIcooiy as l re-
late 10 Won. and when she had finished,
She asked me what | was going to do
about it. Patton had by this time re-
turned. having raised such row that
his captors feared to detain him longer,
and he answereu the question by pick
ing up rope and starting for the nearest
tree.
This broke the woman down 30 abject-
ly that we LET her free To where she would
when we drove ON. To have taken her
TO Ockmnlgee, kickapoo, or any other
town as prisoner would have been to
cause us great delay and annoyance, and
II was some consolation to know that the
blow gave her caused wound from
which she would not recover for many
days She was pentient enough when
we drove away, but six weeks later was
killed with her husband while stealing
stock from the Creek Indians.

Taxing a Mud Bath.

A well known gentleman who lives at
the Fifth Avenue hotel came into the cor
ridor from the street recently, looking as
if he bad been scourged for a week. He
sat down, took long breath. and lighting
long cigar began 10 puff vigorously A
reporter asked him if he was i'll. He re-
piled

baths are very expensive. The attendant

what is known as Fuller's earth. | was
incased in this substance with only my
head sticking out. Then | was placed in
a trough, IA tube was inserted into the
mud and an electric current turned on.
The sensation was most unique and al
most indeseribable. The earth around
my body soon became chprged with elec-
tricity and snapped and coquetted with
nav skin in most tantalizing way. At
times there would seem to be race of
small tacks down my back, and then the
sensation of brush gently passing over
me. My flesh simply acted as a conduc-
tor and enjoyed all the little pranks that
series of currents from powerful cleo
tric batteries can produce. Afteran hour

and was given a cold water bath and rub
bed again very thoroughly, Then my
feet were placed in water charged with
electricity. The attendants then seized
several large sponges, dipped them into
the water and began to rub me. 1t was
an electric bath, and the sponges fairly
made me howl with the shocks received.
